Georgia Ryan · Answer 1

annual financial disadvantage = $77,550

Explanation:

Currently SP corporation produces 33,000 motors with the following costs:

direct materials per unit $9.20

direct labor per unit $8.20

variable manufacturing overhead per unit $3.30

fixed manufacturing overhead per unit $4.25

total production costs per unit = $24.95

if the company decides to purchase the motor form an outside vendor, the relevant costs will be:

purchase cost $23.05

fixed manufacturing overhead per unit $4.25

total relevant costs per unit = $27.30

financial disadvantage of purchasing the motor form outside vendor = (relevant costs per unit - production costs per unit) x total units purchased = ($27.30 - $24.95) x 33,000 = $77,550

This question is incomplete, I got the complete one from google as below:

The SP corporation makes 33,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing machine. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is:

Direct materials $9.2

Direct labor $8.2

Variable manufacturing overhead $3.30

Fixed manufacturing overhead $4.25

Answer:

The annual financial advantage for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier is $143,350.

Explanation:

The differential analysis is as below:

Make Buy

Direct material 498200

Direct labour 451200

Variable manufacturing overhead 188000

Purchase 1280750

Total 1137400 1280750

Financial advantage = $1280750-1137400 = $143,350

Thus, the annual financial advantage for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier is $143,350.
